live life healthy and happy

So, running… and my plan…

I ran over 10 miles last week. I think that’s about as much as I ran in July altogether. That’s an improvement, right?

I have this plan that I am preparing. It will start on September 1st and will last 6 weeks. I am going back on a controlled diet (I am thinking the New York diet, but haven’t made a final decision yet) and I am working out a training plan that incorporates more strength training and cycling (Thanks, Terri Lee for the tip and for your posts! I love reading them!).

So, there it is out in the open.

My Plan.

Don’t you worry. I will continue to give you the close up on the Paralympics, too. But now that I told you about my plan I feel much better, because now I have to do it! It’s all in the name of good health and maybe, just maybe, it will help me with a PR that I am still working to reach this year.

Face new challenges, seize new opportunities, test your resources against the unknown and in the process, discover your own unique potential.

Thank you! I too have not been running much and my eating/drinking habits have been atrocious during the Olympics. Just recently I decided that after bank holiday I am going on a strict healthy eating diet and starting my training for the marathon (I know early…but I can only run 1 mile at the moment). Thanks for the inspiration…I feel like I am not alone 🙂

a thousand things to write about

Hesitation – I can probably talk about this for hours. But I’ll spare you. Making decisions can sometimes be scary, but NOT making decisions is even scarier. What is holding you back? I often find it’s self-sabotaging to not decide,…

No Heels Just Sneakers

Visiting a hot air balloon festival has been high on my bucket list for a long time. I have seen so many photos of balloons ascending into the desert air that I wanted to see it for myself. Now that I am spending so much time in the desert, I figured I’ll get lucky one […]

River of Life

The bright angel’s shadow? What was that vision I saw Through bruised swollen eyelids Grasping for air. Shall I lie in awe? Or was it the stale stenchy death I smelled everywhere Nostril caked with blood Lips silently screaming my despair I do not know, I do not care. I’m worn out and I am […]
